ABOUT NOTHING MORE:
Rock audiences count NOTHING MORE among the most cherished acts, the kind of band who straddle the line between populism and intimacy with every performance. The San Antonio, Texas-born quartet builds unapologetically massive anthems from catchy hooks. Crowd-pleasers clear a path for heady, confessional, thought-provoking emotionalism. Fresh rewards reveal themselves with repeat listens, welcoming like-minded seekers with rich melodicism, like the best of Deftones or Tool. The critically acclaimed, 3x-Grammy-nominated rock band–Jonny Hawkins (vocals), Mark Vollelunga (guitar), Daniel Oliver (bass), and Ben Anderson (drums)—released the deluxe version of their critically acclaimed 2022 album SPIRITS via BETTER NOISE MUSIC last year. SPIRITS combines unapologetically massive anthems, catchy hooks, and progressive music with introspective, philosophical lyrics and thought-provoking emotionalism. It was accompanied by their very own meta-personality test, SPIRITS TEST which was the inspirations for NOTHING MORE’s first-ever graphic novel “SPIRITS VOL.1” via Z2 Comics

ABOUT WAGE WAR:
Wage War — Briton Bond [lead vocals], Cody Quistad [rhythm guitar, clean vocals], Seth Blake [lead guitar], Chris Gaylord [bass], and Stephen Kluesener [drums] — burst onto the scene when they issued their debut, Blueprints, in 2015. The album yielded multiple fan favorites, namely “Alive” and “The River.” 2017’s Deadweight established the Florida quintet as a rising force in the hard rock world. The release earned widespread praise from Metal Injection, New Noise, Metal Hammer, and Rock Sound, who dubbed it “a relentless, genre-evolving treat.” For 2019’s Pressure, they enlisted the talents of producer Drew Fulk (Motionless in White, Lil Peep, iDKHOW) and recorded in Los Angeles for the first time, delivering a bold body of work, logging countless miles on the road, racking up millions of streams, and garnering press accolades from Billboard, Modern Drummer, and American Songwriter. 2021’s Manic was a watershed moment for the fivesome. It was a head-turning chart success, landing on multiple Billboard charts — #5 Digital; #8 Hard Music; and #12 Rock. The album earned press raves from the get-go, with kudos from SPIN, Consequence, Revolver, Loudwire, Kerrang!, Alternative Press, and landing covers at Kerrang! and UPSET. Wage War delivered The Stripped Sessions, an acoustic release that showed off their songwriting chops, in 2022. They’ve appeared at major festivals, including Welcome to Rockville, Download, and Rock am Ring and Park, and have hit the road with Slipknot, A Day To Remember, Three Days Grace, Falling In Reverse, and more. They were chosen as one of SiriusXM’s “Future 5 of 2022.” The single “Circle The Drain” hit #1 on Octane BIG UNS Countdown. Another impressive career highlight is the band’s cumulative stream tally — they’ve generated nearly 560 million total streams. Wage War remain hard at work on their eagerly awaited fifth album.

Platinum-certified hard rock outfit BAD WOLVES have sharpened their sound with the scathing new single “Knife,” out today, January 26, via Better Noise Music across digital platforms. The track features scream vocals from vocalist/guitarist AJ Rebollo (ex-ISSUES), who recently appeared on tour filling in on guitars for Bad Wolves on their winter 2023 tour dates with Bush and Eva Under Fire. BAD WOLVES—John Boecklin [drums], Daniel “DL” Laskiewicz [lead vocals], Doc Coyle [lead guitar, backing vocals] and Kyle Konkiel [bass, backing vocals]—are now excited to announce Rebollo will continue to tour with the band and has been officially made a full-time band member. Watch a lyric video for “Knife” streaming below or via YouTube HERE. Stream/download “Knife” at https://badwolves.ffm.to/knife.

“Feels good to be able to be the kind of band that one day works on a ballad and the next works on a song that is this heavy,” shares DL. “Sometimes it’s fun to ‘prove’ that you can still write an ass beater. It’s exciting to be able to incorporate another powerful dynamic into Bad Wolves arsenal with AJ’s vocal style and riffs.”

“I’m very stoked that I’ve been given the opportunity of joining up with the legends in Bad Wolves,” exclaims AJ. :I’ve been a fan of each of their bands since my early teens, so to say I’m honored to be playing with them would be an understatement. Each and every one of these guys brings something to the table that I’ve looked up to for many years. I had the amazing opportunity to get into the studio recently and work on the new track ‘Knife’ with them, and I’m very pumped for everyone to hear the vocals we put together. Cheers to the future!”

BAD WOLVES’ latest effort, 2023’s DIE ABOUT IT, redefined the band’s sound by stretching the boundaries of hard rock with earthquaking heaviness, enigmatic experimentation, and enthralling melodies. Lauded as “pure musical gold…unpredictable, bold, and uniquely innovative” (Heavy Mag), DIE ABOUT IT is “an album that offers something for everyone,” states mxdwn.

The album’s first official radio single “Legends Never Die,” a song dedicated to the heroes in life whose legacies will continue to be shared to future generations, is currently ascending the rock radio charts and has landed in the Top 10, currently at #7. To date it’s over 631k views for its empowering music video (seen HERE). The band has previously garnered five #1-charting active rock radio singles throughout the span of their career.

DIE ABOUT IT is available in the US on digital download, CD, cassette or various vinyl color variants at https://badwolves.ffm.to/dieaboutit. The band has recently added new vinyl and CD bundles with exclusive merch designs via the Better Noise Music EU / UK store. Bundles are available HERE.

ABOUT BAD WOLVES
BAD WOLVES arrived with the rarity and the force of a lightning bolt in 2018. This collective of tried-and-true musicians rallied around an unconventional vision for heavy music, grafting rafter-reaching hooks to pit-splitting riffs and mind-bending rhythms with a penchant for unexpected twists and turns. Their full-length debut, Disobey, bowed in the Top 25 of the Billboard 200 and delivered a platinum single and a gold single. On its heels, they showed no signs of stopping with N.A.T.I.O.N. [2019]. However, Dear Monsters kickstarted another season in 2021 as “Lifeline” netted their sixth #1 at Active Rock Radio. Reaching a critical high watermark, Billboard hailed the latter as “Bad Wolves’ most diverse and far-reaching album to date,” and Hysteria raved, “The band has served up something truly monumental.” Nearing 1.8 billion global streams and over 750 million video views, they sold out headline shows on multiple continents and toured with everyone from Papa Roach and Hollywood Undead to Volbeat.

Galvanizing modern classic rock trio THE BLACK MOODS unveiled an electrifying cover of The Doors’ 1970’s hit “Roadhouse Blues” featuring The Doors’ guitarist Robby Krieger and rock singer-songwriter Diamante last October which “infuse(d) this classic with fresh energy and gusto” (Rock & Blues Muse). THE BLACK MOODS have now shared an extended version of the track along with an extended music video featuring behind-the-scenes clips of the recording session with Krieger and Diamante at Krieger’s Los Angeles studio, Love Street Sound. Watch “Roadhouse Blues (ft. Robby Krieger of The Doors & Diamante) – Extended Version” streaming below or via YouTube HERE. The song is also available digitally across all platforms to stream/download at https://orcd.co/roadhousebluestbm.

“Playing ‘Roadhouse Blues’ with the man that wrote it was life changing,” remarks THE BLACK MOODS vocalist/guitarist JOSH KENNEDY. “It’s something I never ever thought I’d have a chance of doing having grown up in a small town in the Ozarks.”

“Lately, I seem to meet more and more young muscians who are into The Doors,” says KRIEGER. “It was really fun recording ‘Roadhouse Blues’ with The Black Moods. They seem to connect with 60’s style music.”

“We have a big year ahead,” KENNEDY adds. “We kicked it off with ‘Roadhouse Blues (Extended Version)’ and we have a lot of touring coming up too. We have been writing new material and have a new single coming out soon that we can’t wait for our fans to hear!”

THE BLACK MOODS have relentlessly brought their raw, amplified rock & roll to stages across North America alongside acts including The Doors’ Robby Krieger, Shinedown, Jane’s Addiction, Whitesnake, Collective Soul, The Dead Daisies and The Gin Blossoms as well as appearing at festivals such as Aftershock, Luna Del Lago and Roger Clyne’s Circus Mexicus. The band finished 2023 with an opening show for Rick Springfield in their hometown of Phoenix, AZ and will perform their first show of 2024 on February 4 at Phoenix’s Celebrity Theatre with multi-platinum singer-songwriter and guitarist Orianthi.

THE BLACK MOODS released their fourth album INTO THE NIGHT in 2022 via Wit Hustle/The Orchard/Steelhorse Entertainment with Grammy Award-nominated producer Johnny “K” Karkazis (Disturbed, 3 Doors Down). The album was lauded by Metal Edge Magazine as “raw, riff-heavy, blues-drenched rock delivered with a nod to the classic acts that came before them, but filtered through a youthful, high-energy lens.” Stream/download INTO THE NIGHT at https://orcd.co/tbmintothenight.

Their previous 2020 album SUNSHINE earned the band four Top 30 singles–including their first-ever Top 20 charting hit with title track, “Sunshine,” which peaked at #16 on Billboard‘s Mainstream Rock radio charts. To date, THE BLACK MOODS have continued to receive strong hometown including multiple cover features from Entertainer!

Committing to yourself to make things better in the year ahead and not taking those special things for granted. It’s a country song for country people, so cheers.

[Los Angeles CA, January 12, 2024] — Multi-platinum hard rock powerhouse FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH today announced the digital deluxe edition of AFTERLIFE, their critically acclaimed ninth studio album. Set for digital release on February 9 via Better Noise Music, the deluxe version will include the original 12 tracks recorded with the band’s longtime collaborator, producer Kevin Churko (Ozzy Osbourne) in addition to four bonus tracks: three acoustic versions of the album’s songs “The End”, “Judgement Day,” and “Thanks For Asking” plus a brand new song, “This Is The Way” featuring the late rapper DMX. An official music video for “This Is The Way (feat. DMX)” will premiere on February 9, 2024 to coincide with the release of the digital deluxe version of AFTERLIFE.

Five Finger Death Punch guitarist Zoltan Bathory says about “This Is The Way (feat. DMX)”: “Music is meant to be shared, and it starts at the top with us, the artists. We have always embraced the mixing of genres, whether it be the remake of LL Cool J’s “Mama Said Knock You Out” featuring Tech N9ne as a guest or our collaboration with blues warrior Kenny Wayne Shepherd, country star Brantley Gilbert, and Brian May, the legendary guitarist of Queen, on the song “Blue on Black.” The idea of collaborating with DMX had been in discussion for years, and it was a long and winding road to turn this particular item on our wish list into reality. He was a lyrical warrior, a true original who spoke his mind incorruptibly. We have always viewed DMX as “the metalhead of hip-hop” because of his aggressive, raw, and untamed style. He growled and snarled, aiming to rattle some cages – an attitude we share, as Five Finger Death Punch has always been drawn to the fearless and the real. It made all the sense in the world, but today this is more than just a song; it’s a salute to a legend, a way to honor DMX’s memory.”

Upon announcement of the digital deluxe version of AFTERLIFE today, Five Finger Death Punch has premiered an advance listen to the previously unreleased acoustic version of “Judgement Day” which can be streamed below or via YouTube HERE. The band previously partnered with Covenant House in November 2023 and released an official video for “Judgement Day” during National Runaway Prevention Month to help raise awareness about the Youth Homelessness Crisis. Watch the official video for the original version of the song HERE.

Southern California alternative rock outfit DIRTY HEADS spent the summer touring across the U.S. on the headlining “Island Glow” tour and are excited to share a new live- recorded version of their hit single “John Linen” which features rapper Yelawolf who was featured as an opening act on the first leg of the tour. The single is out today across all digital platforms via Better Noise Music HERE along with a new music video featuring performance footage from the tour. Watch it streaming below or HERE.

“We were stoked to have Yelawolf on tour with us,” shares vocalist JARED WATSON. “He puts on a great show and knows how to have a good time. So, we invited him up to run a verse and he delivered a moment that was one of the highlights of the show and tour.”

“It was such an honor sharing the stage with Yelawolf, he absolutely murdered this verse,” says guitarist DUDDY B. “I’m glad we were able to capture this moment live for y’all.”

YELAWOLF remarks: “Jared and Duddy really looked out for me on the tour we rocked together. Dirty Heads became instant fam and when the opportunity came to jump on ‘John Linen’ I was all over it! The song fuckin’ slaps…these dudes know their shit and I’m a snob about hip hop, especially…if I don’t vibe I’m out. This song, however, I was psyched to be a part of! Looking forward to more collaborations with the Dirty Heads!”

The original version of “John Linen” featured Alex Vince and Ivuss (aka pro surfer Ivy Miller) and was released in April. The single has since accumulated 78.5 million streams and its lyric video has 478K views. It is also featured on the deluxe edition of their critically acclaimed 2022 album, MIDNIGHT CONTROL, out now via Better Noise Music, and includes 13 new tracks with acoustic versions of hit songs “Rescue Me”—which spent the entire month of August at #1 on the Alternative radio charts—“Life’s Been Good,” and “Island Glow,” three Lo-Fi versions of album tracks and three previously unreleased songs. Stream/download MIDNIGHT CONTROL: DELUXE at http://dirtyheads.com/midnightcontroldeluxe.

DIRTY HEADS’ eighth studio album Midnight Control featured 10 all-new songs, including their take on Joe Walsh’s 1978 hit “Life’s Been Good,” which the band performed on national TV on NBC’s “The Today Show” earlier this year. The song has been streamed over 30 million times since the album’s release in May 2022. The album debuted in Top 10 of Billboard’s Top Independent Album and Top Alternative Albums charts and has been streamed over 43 million times since its release, averaging 4 million monthly streams. In June, MIDNIGHT CONTROL was released on vinyl for the first-ever time via Better Noise Music. Get your copy now HERE.

ABOUT DIRTY HEADS
Since 2003, Dirty Heads have mixed hip-hop, reggae, and rock to create a unique sound that both fully embodies their Southern California roots and resonates with audiences around the globe. Nearly twenty years ago, the group formed when punk rocker Dustin Bushnell (aka Duddy B) asked his friend, rapper Jared Watson (aka Dirty J), to collaborate on a project that would focus on positive vibes and infectious grooves. Watson added singing to his vocal skills, and with percussionist Jon Olazabal, an acoustic trio version of Dirty Heads began playing shows and building an audience.

In 2008, they released the acclaimed album Any Port in a Storm, with a deluxe edition following in 2010. The deluxe version featured the track “Lay Me Down” with special guest Rome Ramirez of Sublime with Rome. The song reached number one on Billboard’s Alternative Songs in May 2010, and nine weeks later it established a record as the song with the longest stint atop the chart for an independently released title.

They followed up two years later with Cabin by the Sea and later recorded an acoustic version of the title track. This, in turn, led to an entire acoustic album in 2013 called Home: Phantoms of Summer. Dirty Heads’ next album, Sound of Change, would prove to be a breakthrough for the now-veteran band, debuting at #8 on the Billboard Top 200 while topping the Independent and Alternative Albums charts upon its May 2014 release.

Building on their renewed success, Dirty Heads enlisted a bevy of industry hitmakers to work on their self-titled 2016 follow-up, which — thanks to its mainstream appeal — again charted high on the Billboard Top 200. The following year saw the band drop its sixth studio album, Swim Team, featuring the singles “Vacation,” in its original form, and “Staloney.” The band’s global appeal reached new heights in 2021, when their hit “Vacation” (originally released in 2017) garnered over four billion views and streams across social media via the ubiquitous #VacationTransition challenge that originated organically with users on TikTok. The song, with an increase of 850% in consumption on Spotify in the past year, took on a new life in many ways, introducing Dirty Heads to new international fans by the millions. They celebrated with a series of remixes and new renditions of the track to kick-off summer 2021 with their The Best of Dirty Heads album in 2021 via Better Noise Music which included collaborations with Travis Barker and Aimee Interrupter of The Interrupters.

HEATHER ANNE LOMAX – “Mama’s Sleepin’” Official Music Video

Los Angeles-based Americana/Country-rock singer-songwriter HEATHER ANNE LOMAX has shared a cinematic music video for her empowering single “Mama’s Sleepin’” from her debut album THE DOMAN TRACKS (Blackbird Record Label) released earlier this month. Watch the “Mama’s Sleepin’” music video, filmed in Los Angeles and directed by Taylor Hungerford, directly above or via YouTube HERE.

The video stars actor Todd Lowe (“Gilmore Girls,” ”True Blood”) and was premiered yesterday (November 27) via Americana Highways which noted: “This song tackles the harsh reality of having no choice but to live under the authority of a harsh adult head on. [The lyric] ‘Leave us kids alone, don’t you holler while my Mama’s sleepin’’ is strong, direct, and heavy hitting. Lomax has an authority of her own that comes across loud and clear here in her vocals and in the music; it’s cathartic and empowering.”

HEATHER ANNE says “‘Mama’s Sleepin’” is “a cathartic fuck-you to my adoptive dad, who was abusive verbally, and physically sometimes.”

HEATHER ANNE will celebrate the release of THE DOMAN TRACKS with a special record release show tomorrow, November 29, in Los Angeles, CA at the Troubadour with special guests Manda Mosher and Abby Posner (who are also part of Blackbird Record Label). Actor TODD LOWE will be in attendance, giving out some of the signed headshots that were used in the filming of the “Mama’s Sleepin’” video to random attendees. Tickets for the show are still available HERE.

THE DOMAN TRACKS consists of eight collaborative songs recorded with the late Michael Doman, formerly the singer-songwriter-producer of the noted ‘80s L.A. rock band Broken Homes. The pair cut the intimate material during two years of recording sessions, and they were set aside until HEATHER revisited them following DOMAN’s untimely death from a brain ailment in December of 2020. With LOMAX on lead vocals and guitar, Doman sang duet and added background vocals and the pair enlisted guitarist JEFF SEBENS in addition to support from various other local players to record the tracks live. The album’s engineer JASON HILLER added bass parts later. Stream/download THE DOMAN TRACKS digitally or grab a copy on CD here: https://smithmusic.ffm.to/662582993226.
